This repository contains peering information for publicly accessible nodes on
|
|
|
|
|
the Yggdrasil network. If you are new to the network then this is a good place
|
|
|
|
|
to start in order to get connected.

|
|
In most cases, public peers should be accessible by adding the string provided
|
|
|
|
|
for each peer to the `Peers: []` section of your `yggdrasil.conf` configuration
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example in `yggdrasil.conf`:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
Peers:
|
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
|
|
|
tcp://a.b.c.d:e
|
|
|
|
|
tcp://d.c.b.a:e
|
|
|
|
|
tcp://[a:b:c::d]:e
|
|
|
|
|
tcp://[d:c:b::a]:e
|
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|

### How do I pick peers?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Always try to pick peers that are as close to you geographically as possible, as
|
|
|
|
|
this will keep the latency of the network down.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using a home connection then you should avoid peering with any nodes
|
|
|
|
|
that are far away, as you may end up carrying traffic for the rest of the
|
|
|
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For normal usage, you probably only need 2 or 3 peers.
